BeagleBone Black: A 1-GHz computer for $45

One of the most interesting demos at last week's DESIGN West conference was BeagleBone Black, a ready-to-use 1-GHz computer that retails for a whopping $45.

BeagleBone Black includes all the necessary components to connect a display, keyboard and network. It's based on production-ready hardware and software. All of the components—including TI’s 1-GHz Sitara AM335x processor—are commercially available right now.

A shame it doesn't to 1080p out. Would make a great XMBC box. At least it can be used as a controller and scheduler.

They call it cap and can be used as interface to integrate this in other devices like 3D printer, touchscreen LED etc. This device is more like a thing to be integrated with other stuff and then used to ofload computing stuff.
